Hot Wire Process Machine¿¿is used in applications where a high deposition of the fi ller wire is desired. The process is used primarily with the GTAW (TIG) or the PAW (Plasma) welding process. Hot wire welding provides deposition rates more normally associated with the GMAW (MIG) welding process but with the added advantages offered by GTAW (TIG) and PAW (Plasma) welding. These advantages include better control of the heat input because the welding current is independent of the wire feed speed. This leads to reduced dilution in overlay welds and better side wall fusion in deep groove welds.

A complete Jetline hot wire system consists of

Contoured-wave hot wire power supply

Hot wire power control

Heavy-duty wire drive unit

Wire feed speed control

Hot wire torch

Hot wire torch positioner assembly

The hot wire system is supplied as a completely integrated package with all the necessary interconnecting cables and hoses. The system has universal fittings to allow it to fi t on any GTAW (TIG) or Plasma (PAW) torch and is supplied in a "ready to- weld" condition.

We are offering ARC Length Controllers¿¿to our clients. The Cyclomatic Series Arc Voltage Control system automatically maintains precise arc length by controlling arc voltage to within +-0.1 volts. The AVC-501 allows convenient, fl exible control of all welding conditions and operating functions. The new microprocessor-based controller features extremely rugged resistance to high frequency. The user-friendly control assists in minimizing set-up times and operator training times. Adjusting or setting control parameters is made easy via discreet dials providing fast and accurate changes to all key control features. The patented Lift-StartTM feature allows the starting of a TIG arc without the use of high frequency when paired with a power source with similar features. All in all, the new AVC-501 offers the control and fl exibility you have come to expect from the CyclomaticFeatures

The Cyclomatic Series Seam Tracker control uses our proven microprocessor touch pad design to maintain the torch to weld joint position. The system continuously senses the position of the joint, translating the information into horizontal and vertical movement of the torch. As a result, the welding arc stays precisely on track - to within +-0.005" (0.13 mm) or better

The Cyclomatic Seam Tracker is especially beneficial in high-volume, accuracy-sensitive industries such as tank and pressure vessel fabrication, beam and structural assemblies, and pipe and tubing fabrication.
